However, when she tells him she's a widowed mother, he says "I can't marry you now." Mary agrees to wed Mr. Hunt, the company president, an older man. Tom explains he had to get a promotion before he could support a family: he can afford to marry Mary now. Mr. Hunt releases Mary from her obligation.
